The two dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a square lattice is one of the most studied model in quantum magnetism . This is in part due to its intrinsic interest but also...

This proposal seeks 2 days on POLARIS in order to study hydrothermal chemical syntheses of yttrium aluminium garnet, Y3Al5O12 (YAG) in supercritical water using the...

This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the spin dynamics of strongly-frustrated quantum magnets. A canonical model is the spin-1/2 triangular antiferromagnet...

We propose a series of neutron scattering measurement to determine the water structure in amorphous H2O/C60 fullerene vapour deposits. We believe that these samples, prepared by...

The Earth's climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important effects. Common...

We request 3 days’ beam time on POLARIS for in-situ powder diffraction studies of the reactions of lithium amide or lithium imide with manganese(IV) oxide under flowing argon or...

Conjugation of therapeutic proteins to polymers is well established but most methods result in multi-site and multiple conjugation, crosslinking resulting in lack of orientation...

Ammonia is seen as a key part of the transition to a sustainable energy economy, but needs decomposition catalysts to release its stored hydrogen. Lithium nitride-hydride...

We have constructed a novel microwave frequency resonator that can sit within the GEM and POLARIS diffractometers and will allow us to simultaneously collect diffraction and...

We seek to develop new MOFs for sensing and removal of toxic gases (e.g., SO2) and request 4 days on POLARIS to study the structural binding details and dielectric data...

Glass Ionomer Cements (GICs) have found numerous applications as bone fillers, replacements and adhesives, particularly in dentistry due to their tooth like appearance and...

Using ISIS facilities, our team has discovered three new phases of ice: ices XIII, XIV and XV. These phases form in the presence of small amounts of hydrochloric acid. Yet, the...

Nickel-based superalloys have excellent high-temperature properties due to the dispersion of stronger precipitates in matrix. The properties are significantly affected by the...

Cubic cadmium(II) cyanide shows the most pronounced isotropic NTE effect known, with behaviour more than twice as extreme as that of better known materials such as ZrW2O8. This...

Whilst rechargeable batteries continue to take over the consumer electronics market, they are unsuitable to replace specific battery technologies, such as the thermal battery,...

With the discovery of almost 3000 exo-planets it is clear that planet formation is a by-product of star formation, yet in the micron ? cm size range, where relative velocities...

Our group has been working partially oxidized cellulose nanofibrils which form gels in aqueous formulations. Recently we have observed that these fibrils also gel when dialysed...

The sequence of structural phase transitions that occur in distorted ABO3 perovskites as a function of temperature is of intrinsic interest for better understanding of the...

Neutron spin resonance mode is a common feature in different classes of magnetic superconductors; nonetheless, the microscopic origin of the mode is still unclear. In general,...

The objectives of this proposal is to seek 2 days on POLARIS in order to test and complete a full commissioning of the latest design of our prototype in-situ reaction cell for...
